2015 Year in Review

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Mother Daughter Portraits in Aptos

While this was technically intended to be a business headshot portrait taken at my client’s home in Aptos, her adorable 7 year old daughter (and her aged dog) kinda stole the show. Of course I had to adapt to the situation to get some priceless mother/daughter/dog portraits – you never know how a shoot will unexpectedly change – and […]

Monica, Sophia and Annika (Family Photography) @ Seacliff Beach, Aptos

Monica is a regular client of mine, and being an Aptos resident she really loves her beach – Rio Del Mar / Seacliff. We go there every time we shoot together, and somehow we make it new each time. For this particular shoot, we were aiming to get some great photos for their Christmas cards. […]

Shalisa + Morgan = Waylan > Colton (Aptos Family Photography)

This beautiful family lives way up in the mountains of Aptos – no cell coverage, and even the sun had given up for the day by the time I got to Shalisa and Morgan’s home. After stepping out of the car I immediately saw several locations we could shoot at on their property, and I […]

Laura + Kalen (Seabright Beach Wedding Photography) Santa Cruz

With a wedding in the morning at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz, and the reception at Quail Hollow Ranch in Aptos, Laura and Kalen had two beautiful locations to celebrate their union with all their friends and family. The ceremony was held inside a ring of flowers and bubble making favors with all the guests […]

Christina + Jamie (Aptos Wedding Photography) @ Sand Rock Farm

This was my first wedding at Sand Rock Farm Bed & Breakfast, so there’s always a little anxiety related to shooting at new places – which is why I show up early to get the lay of the land and scope out all the cool places to shoot. Nestled in the hills of Aptos, this […]

Joanne and Thomas (Aptos Family Photography)

It’s not too often I have a photo session with a grandma and grandson – maybe this is the very first one. But it really is a special treat to see the loving interaction between them, the way Thomas can make Joanne’s face alight with joy by handing her a flower – it’s truly precious. […]

Flores Family Portraits

The Flores family wanted to shoot at a beach near their house, so we decided upon Rio Del Mar / Seacliff. We parked at Rio since it’s free and explored the area. I’ve never had a family session there so it was fun to see what we could find. Nick and Stacey have two little […]

Jennifer Astone (Portrait)

I met Jennifer near her home this morning, a short walk from Seacliff Beach in Aptos. She is a consultant for foundations and international organizations that give back to communities all over the world. She brings her vast organizational skills, networking connections, and just plain  good ol’ experience living and working for over 20 years […]

Forest Nymph, Captured (Portraits)

Janice has loads of personality – she’s crazy, spunky, vivacious, energetic, and has a mouth that would make a sailor blush (which she’s not afraid to use in her several hundred Yelp reviews – I fear for my future review!). She wanted to get some off-beat, yet professional portraits done–simply for the hell of it, […]
